A HyVee bag, no less. Nice touch. I caucused last night. The Trump "victory" is overdone. I was encouraged by how many spoke up to call out Trump's broken promises, crime, petulance, etc. Largely it's the gung-ho types who caucus. "Thoughtful" is not an adjective I'd use to describe most attendees. I went to cast my tiny protest vote. Had to register Republican to do it. I'll un-register next month. And "election security" is a farce at a caucus. Fraud would be so easy.

You’ve not heard Mark Levin? I envy our innocence. Limbaugh was comedy at first. Then George HW Bush invited him to the White House. Rush’s change was palpable and immediate. He took himself seriously, duped by his own scam.

I agree with both takes. Still, running for the country’s highest office, how does the DeSantis campaign not walk that back, and quickly? I still resent this. So badly handled on so many levels.

As a registered voter in the State of Iowa, I resent this.

With a “friend” like that, Pence needs no enemy.

Biden won as the alternative to Trump, hardly on his own merits. Biden can’t count on that calculus a second time. Too few remember how truly awful Trump’s first term was. Too many are enamored with the strongman Trump persona when contrasted with Biden’s perceived weakness.

How many know what a reflexive pronoun is?

And you didn’t say hello?

This is a non-story. Sioux City and Sioux Falls are constantly confused. This was the most reasonable part of Trump’s stump speech.

Trump and MAGA: So Much (for) Winning.

If Israel is responsible for bombing a hospital, that should jeopardize American support. That's war crime-level action. How much more risky for the POTUS to come to Israel now? If Israel takes credit or gets blame for this bombing, wouldn't POTUS become a sweet target?

I can’t believe the GOP is that clever. That cynical and selfish? Yes. But not that smart.

Sounds like 2020.

And people said Howard Dean’s scream was weird…

Evidence strongly suggests he already has.

Right “wing???”

Take your time. Such a hard choice.

I met them both in Lakeland years ago, and they were both wonderful. They are missed.

This guy is as Trumpy as it gets. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. He’s been in our local news for years.

Starting the New Year on the left foot, apparently.

My year-old grandson came home from daycare with this treasure.

Scamming the scam?

Insightful question. McCain’s choosing Sarah Palin did me in. GW Bush was hard enough to take seriously. Ever since Palin it’s been a parade of clowns from the GOP. We’ll see if we’ve hit bottom yet.

Hmm… sounds like our Iowa US senate race, except our colonel is a Navy admiral.

This. Exactly. MAGA talking heads blame Biden but never give reasons. We’d be in the same mess if Trump had won. It’s the one, small reason I’d like to see Trump in office again. Instead of coasting on good momentum he’d fail miserably trying to actually fix stuff.
